Everyone has heard about one of the basic commandments of Christianity about honoring the father and mother. This commandment is present in one form or another in many world religions. For example, the Vedas not only talk about respectful treatment of parents, but also explain in detail what happens if a person violates these principles.
What areas in life are affected by attitudes towards father and mother
Researcher in the field of Vedic knowledge O. G. Torsunov argues that with negative relationships with parents, it is impossible to achieve subsequent happiness in your own family, work and with children, since these relationships are directly related.
If a person has negative feelings towards his father, and he has not changed them, then difficulties in his career and social development will arise in his life. If a person has negative feelings towards his mother, then problems will already be in the field of relationships with the opposite sex and in creating his own family.
In relations with parents, masculine and feminine principles are manifested. The feminine principle gives happiness in personal life and in relationships with oneself, an understanding of oneself as a person. The masculine principle makes it possible to conquer oneself, build and change one's destiny, gives will and determination. The masculine and feminine beginnings are manifested in a person's life initially precisely through his parents, through his father and mother. If a person has a negative attitude towards his parents, it means that these two principles do not fully work in his life, and as a result, his social or personal life suffers. This is why the right attitude towards parents is so important.
Thus, the first thing a person should do to improve his life is to improve relations with his parents, that is, to love his father and mother.
How you can change attitudes towards parents
To change the negative aspects in relation to parents, according to Torsunov's recommendations, it is necessary to overcome your resentments, claims, irritation, etc. For this, it is necessary not to try to find out the relationship in communication with them, but to communicate as if at a distance, and at the same time wish them happiness and pray for them for a sufficiently long time. This is a long and complex process that requires serious internal efforts. In some cases, it will take at least a year of daily practice to change. It is necessary to get rid of negative feelings and learn to see and remember only the good that is in a given person. The main mistake in this case is the desire to solve problems in a personal conversation, because it is in this case that all the accumulated negative in relation to each other is manifested and realized.
The main criterion by which one can judge that changes have actually taken place in a person's heart can serve as good and positive feelings towards parents. This means that the person has managed to overcome his negative attitude, and in the future this will no longer have a strong impact on his life and destiny.
Thus, honoring father and mother is not only a moral rule that should be followed in order to be considered a good person, but also a necessary condition for creating a happy and harmonious destiny.
